After school zhang hao and hanbin met at the front gate of the school, hanbin held zhang haos hand without any notice making zhang hao turn red. The 2 walked towards a public studio since zhang hao hadn't been accepted into wakeone just yet. Once they arrived in the studio and got set up hanbin asked "hyung do you have anything specific that you need to practice today?"
"I do, the company wants me to send another video of me dancing so I'm just going to try to learn kick it within the next few days"
"Sweet! If you need help I'd be happy to help, I think today I am just going to try and piece bits of choreography together in case I get selected for the semester end show :)"

Zhang Hao was a talented dancer, but he was struggling to keep up with the new routine. He was getting confused on a few of the moves, and he couldn't seem to get the rhythm right. He was starting to feel frustrated and discouraged, but he didn't want to give up, he decided to ask hanbin for help since he knew hanbin was a gifted dancer, and he had a way of making the most complex routines seem easy.
"Hanbin could you help me with this part? I can't seem to get it right"
"Of course hyung"
Together, they went through the routine, step by step, until Zhang Hao had it down. Hanbin was patient and encouraging, and he never once made Zhang Hao feel like he was a burden. Instead, he made him feel like he was capable of anything, like he was a true dancer at heart. As they danced together, they started to get closer and closer, they could feel their friendship and chemistry getting closer as they laughed at little mistakes they made and jokes they cracked.

"That was fun hyung we should do it again! It totally motivated me!"
"I feel the same" zhang hao said with a light smile plastered across his face.
As the two were walking towards the town where they lived zhang hao opened his phone clicking on his mom's contact.
Last seen Friday at 17.34hrs
He let out a sigh causing the younger to glance at him.
"Are you okay hyung?" Hanbin asked with a worried look
"Yeah, I'm just a little worried, I haven't heard from my parents in a while, but I'm sure they are just busy."

The two stopped at a bridge, leaning on the railing looking into the river, they were immersed in the feeling of the cold wind blowing on their backs shaking their clothes, when zhang haos phone started to ring, he picked up his phone looking at the number that showed "+86" meaning it was a Chinese phone number.
Zhang hao answered the call in Chinese
"Hello?"
"Hello, is this Zhang Hao"
"Yes who is this?"
"This is the the police and we are sorry to inform you that... -"
As zhang hao heard the man finish his sentence his eyes began to brim with tears, his body shaking with breathless sobs. The younger who was standing next to him had a confused and worried look on his face.
Before the tears could leave his eyes and before the younger could ask what had happened, he ran away silently. The younger wanted to run after him but was unsure of what had happened and didn't know whether he wanted to be alone or not.

Zhang hao burst into his apartment and broke down on the floor, letting a completely different side of him out, all his brain was filled with was how could the people so close to him leave him so suddenly, he thought that if he had never left home this might not have happened, all he could feel was sadness, guilt and grief.
Zhang hao wasn't even fully sure what happened but the only thing he knew was that they were no longer with him.
He picked up his phone and dialed his aunts number.

"Zhang Hao, are you okay? You've heard the news haven't you?"

"aunt what happened... they were fine just  last week.." hao asked while letting little sobs out

"It was a car accident hao.. they were on the way home from a business meeting and had a head on collision with a drunk driver...I know you are busy in Korea but the funeral should be soon enough so it would be a good idea to comeback to China soon.."

All his aunt could here was zhang hao crying, she had never seen this side of him before, he had never once cried infornt of anyone

"It's okay Hao, I'll call you back later" she said as she hung up the phone.

Of course zhang hao hadn't shown up to school in a few days which worried his friends, especially hanbin

hanbin met up with his friends in their homeroom

"has anyone heard from hao hyung??" Hanbin asked the group
"no.. I messaged him yesterday but I got no response, he's making me worried" gyuvin responded with a worried expression
"I messaged him too but he never responds to my messages, I think he finds me annoying huhu" ricky cried
"I'm not surprised ricky"
"I was with him the other day and he got a phone call that seemed to make him upset" hanbin announced
"maybe we should go yo his apartment later" yujin suggested
"good idea"
